Jungle-Inspired Tex-Mex Restaurants Hugo’s Lost Colony Opens in Highland Village - Eater Dallas

"Hugo's Lost Colony is remarkable for its elaborate jungly decor, with sprawling plant life embellishing nearly every inch of wall and ceiling, including a giant palm tree resting underneath a leafy canopy in the main dining area. String lights and neon signs add to the ornate look of the Yucatan-inspired restaurant, practically begging diners to snap a selfie amongst its glowing letters and lush greenery. Aside from being highly Instagram-able, Hugo’s Lost Colony offers a menu of familiar Tex-Mex fare, with traditional dishes like enchiladas, fajitas, and nachos. It also has some hearty starters, such as fried calamari and pork belly charro beans. The restaurant’s bar, dubbed Bar Tulum, currently serves 12 different versions of frozen and on-the-rocks margaritas, primarily prepared with Mi Campo Tequila, with the exception of its top-shelf margarita, which is made with Casa Noble Reposado. In addition, Bar Tulum has domestic and Mexican beer and a small handful of local craft brews, like Dallas Blonde from Deep Ellum Brewing Co. Hugo’s Lost Colony offers a brunch menu from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, which includes huevos rancheros, steak chile relleno, and fresh mimosas." - Polly Anna Rocha
